Collect the peels from your chosen citrus fruits (lemon, orange, or grapefruit). Make sure to remove any seeds or pulp. You can use fresh peels or dried ones for this recipe.
Combine the Ingredients:
In a glass jar or bottle, combine the white vinegar, water, and citrus peels. If you'd like a stronger fragrance, you can add up to 1 tablespoon of your favorite essential oil (e.g., lemon, lavender, or tea tree oil) for an extra fresh scent and antibacterial properties.
Infuse the Solution:
Seal the jar or bottle tightly and let it sit for about 1-2 weeks. This allows the citrus oils to infuse with the vinegar, creating a powerful and aromatic cleaning solution. Shake the jar every few days to help the infusion process.
Strain the Mixture:
After 1-2 weeks, strain out the citrus peels and any other solid particles from the mixture. Your cleaner is now ready to use.
Use the Cleaner:
Pour the citrus-infused vinegar cleaner into a spray bottle for easy application. Spray directly onto surfaces like countertops, bathroom tiles, and windows. Wipe clean with a cloth or sponge.
